"all o2 phones I have had before have been unlocked"
I have never seen an O2 PAYG phone that has come unlocked, contract ones, yes.
Wife and daughter recently chose to end the contacts they had with o2 and purchased PAYG sets and both were unlocked.
Daughter got the SE700 I think it was with a free voucher for lipstick and stuff and it was unlocked..................or at least it works with a vodafone chip.
Wife got the Tocco lite and again it worked with the Vodafone chip we have in the house.
As I said, all the handsets
we have had are unlocked!
